I Heart Goodwill!

I seriously think I hit the jackpot! I am so excited at all the things I found at the Goodwill and one garage sale, that I couldn't resist sharing my fun treasures. I am like a kid in a candy store when I'm in there, I'm so giddy! So come with me and have a peek at my little gems!

I fell in love with the cover of this book and knew it would make a great addition to my coffee table! I hope to one day get to visit England, so I better read up on it! This was $3.00


My Pottery Barn like frames! $2.00 and $3.00


These 2 tables were $6.00 a piece and the blue clippy board was free, my sister got one too!


Goodwill table was $7.99. Even though Claire does not need another table it was in such great shape I couldn't pass it up!
I am thinking of painting it a funky green with polka dots and maybe Craig Listing it!


3 wire hurricane candle holders were $2.00 a piece and the shelf was $3.00


And the Pièce de Résistance!

I almost tripped a lady to get to this! I have been looking for a bench with storage for the laundry room I thought I could use it for the kids hats, gloves and scarves in the winter and beach towels, goggles and sun block in the summer. Ok now that you got a peek into my laundry, what color should I paint it?


I am so amazed at the huge response to my 1st my Giveaway, that I think I'm a little speechless! Well not really, I'm never speechless! please stop on over and get your name in. Winner will be picked on Sunday May 23rd!

Wow, Megan! You really scored! I love that bench, too. I forgot what your laundry room colors are. My first thought is paint it white, sage green or leave it alone. Love all your finds! Now I am seriously having an urge to go shopping.

I keep meaning to enter your giveaway. I am so happy you've gotten a great response.

And here is my 2nd entry. I would shop at the kitchen store and get a wine rack. I saw some super nice ones. I've been needing a new wine rack for some time now. Thanks girl.

You really were able to get some great deals here! I love the wire hurricane lamps (?) and the bench is hands down the best find! I can't wait to see what you do with them :)

This post makes me just as giddy as it does you. I am right there with you when it comes to feeling that high from finding a treasure in a pile of junk. :) I have found a few of my own recently and am planning to blog about them too. I hope you'll continue to share yours.
